Different things learnt on this course will be added with the hope to get some colaboration if some project pans out. 


Installing
==========

On a fresh ubuntu-gnome 14.04 install I did the following. ignoring the *sh binary wierd document that the course asks to install. 

I was unsure if we where going to use python 2 or 3 so I think I have installed both with these instructions:
 $sudo apt-get install spyder spyder3 
 $sudo apt-get install ipython3-notebook ipython-notebook
 $sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev
 $sudo apt-get install python-pip python3-pip
 $pip3 install -U jupyter

I then went to notabug.org and created an account and a new repository
followed the directions to create ssh keys that need to be copied to the notabug website and did a git clone.

Edited the readme.md saved and did
 $git add . 
 $git commit -m "instructions so far"


Some errors will come up about setting up your git user just follow instructions. 

 $git push

you can now check in notabug.org that your changes are up to date.

Later test the instalation http://www.open.edu/openlearn/learn-to-code-installation in linux section step 4. 

Here I found out that I needed pandas as well.
 $sudo pip3 install pandas

Seems to work fine as I get the graph plotted with only a warning.
 Your pandas version is 0.17.0

## Week one excersise ##

when running all notebook it says in exercise 6 that we do not have a module named xlrd. This time I took a different route. And I installed the package manager:
 $sudo apt-get install synaptic
and I selected the following packages found when typing xlrd on the search box@ python2-xlrd, python-xlrd, python-xlwt Only the first one is needed but I installed all 3.
